ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 3-dimentional spiral computer tomography (3 D- sCT) in patients with upper urinary tract obstruction. Methods 113 patients with upper urinary tract obstruction were subjected to 3D-sCT. Results The site of urinary tract obstruction and hydronephrosis were distinctly shown in all patients by 3D-sCT. 112 of them were confirmed by ESWL, pathological or operative findings. Conclusions 3D-sCT can exactly show the location, cause and interaction of the upper urinary obstruction, and is especially applied to patients with resultless IVP and unable to retrograde pyelography.
